Two questions: a) Can you make music so intelligent that it just turns against you? I mean, isn't Momus suffering from the fact that he's trying to be so Wittgenstein that some people find his stuff a bit too philosophical? I like him, though. b) Why is it that popmusic differs so much from real life in one thing? If you play simple, semiacoustic music with beauty, its considered fairly (here's the word again) intelligent and touching. The less notes you use, the more you "tell things without using unnecessary words and/or actions." But try to act that way in real life, and people think you're a bit slow in your head. It's a funny world. Did that make any sense? @--->--- Jake, serious for a while ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
